#7 While contact tracing and isolation is critically important for some infectious diseases, it is futile and counterproductive for common infections such as influenza and #COVID19.

#8 A case is only a case if a person is sick. Mass testing asymptomatic individuals is harmful to public health.https://web.archive.org/web/20201114071007/https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-case-against-covid-tests-for-the-young-and-healthy-11599151722 …
#9 Public health is about trust. To gain the trust of the public, public health officials and the media must be honest and trust the public. Shaming and fear should never be used in a pandemic. https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/528612-facts-not-fear-will-stop-the-pandemic … @camakridis
#10 Public health scientists and officials must be honest with what is not known. For example, epidemic models should be run with the whole range of plausible input parameters.https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/17/a-fiasco-in-the-making-as-the-coronavirus-pandemic-takes-hold-we-are-making-decisions-without-reliable-data/ …
#11 In public health, open civilized debate is profoundly critical. Censoring, silencing and smearing leads to fear of speaking, herd thinking and distrust.

#12 It is important for public health scientists and officials to listen to the public, who are living the public health consequences. This pandemic has proved that many non-epidemiologists understand public health better than some epidemiologists. / END https://twitter.com/robinmonotti/status/1321785323676991489 …
Not true. Think HIV which is generally asymptomatic
More testing leads to more data which is good. The problem is that asymptomatic cases are a new metric and therefore currently useless for inference. From pure symptomatic cases it easy to compare it to 20 years of flu data in Germany.pic.twitter.com/C743nZOyLQ
That would make sense. Except it doesn’t. Because those asymptomatic people go on and spread to disease. To people. People that get sick. And then become a case. So in the case of COVID, testing asymptomatic individuals allows you to break the transmission chain
Sure. But the opposite of what you assert without evidence.https://twitter.com/maddrus/status/1332087694382555141 …
The purpose of mass testing was cream numbers up and justify draconian measures.
And expensive as hell
